89. The End of the War (5)
It's a real headache. All the generals looked at each other for a while, and they all smiled bitterly at each other. Silver Star Flame said, "If this is a smoke bomb released by the Yan and Huang Clan, then the purpose of their smoke bomb is to interfere with our strategic thinking and make us chaotic, so as to get a better chance for their attack." It's just that I don't understand why the Yanhuang clan wants to adopt such tactics for the sake of Lu? Could it be that they lack confidence in their own combat effectiveness, so they have to play some small tricks. β
This is indeed a problem. Tianluo shook his head faithfully and said, "I don't quite agree with what Marshal Silver Star said. The strategic goal of the Yanhuang clan this time is very clear, that is, to annihilate our army, even if it cannot annihilate our army, it is necessary to inflict heavy casualties on our army, and at least to make our army lose more than seventy percent of its combat effectiveness. This is a great battle, although the Yanhuang clan is now concentrated with a very strong force, plus the help of the mysterious fleet, but in order to achieve the strategic goal, the price to pay must be very huge. Kill 3,000 enemies, and self-loss must be 2,000, and the combat effectiveness of our Tianhu Army is not in vain. In this way, even if the Yanhuang Clan can win the battle at the end of the battle, the strength they have accumulated over the past hundreds of years will inevitably be exhausted by us. Therefore, in order to be able to complete the goal of destroying our army as soon as possible, the Yanhuang clan must have a plan to reduce their own casualties, and sometimes, if a strategy can reduce a considerable number of casualties, why don't they do it?"
What Tianluo said faithfully is too reasonable, it can reduce casualties, which is of course a good thing, and it is natural to use a little means to achieve this goal. And use it more. So to speak. Everyone understood a little: "What Chief of Staff Tianluo said is very reasonable. I'm afraid that the Yanhuang clan is really setting off smoke bombs, and its purpose is to confuse our attention. β
Tianhu Tiehai had a different opinion: "The faithful view is very correct, but is it really the case? The purpose of the Yanhuang clan in doing this can certainly cause strategic deviations in our army, but these are all minor problems, war, pay more attention to the strength of both sides, now I am not worried about what special strategic means the Yanhuang clan will use, I am more worried about whether their strategic goals are the same as we think." If they are only on the premise of annihilating our army, then the problem is not very big, even if we do our best, we will make the Yanhuang clan suffer heavy losses, but what if not?"
Everyone was stunned, and Tianhu Iron Wing asked, "Then what kind of strategy will they adopt?" Tianhu Tiehai said word by word. "All in one battle?" "Not bad. "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, what exactly is this strategic goal?" the generals asked very modestly.
Tianhu Tiehai said: "It depends on how strong the Yanhuang Clan's true strength is, how many troops they have transferred back, if they have enough troops on their hands, I doubt that they are going to carry out this strategic goal." "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what exactly is the goal of this strategy you are talking about?"
Tianhu Tiehai said: "If the Yanhuang clan has enough troops in their hands. He could have divided an army here to hold back the main force of our army, and then. Concentrate all the way to the hinterland of our army to attack the past, with the strong strength of the Yanhuang clan, but our army is not much in the rear, in this way, where they pass must be the wind and fall, if it is me, I will bring the wind iron armor and the mountain Yuanzhi two, they appear to say, naturally there are countless descenders, and the two of them can still live, if it is someone else, I am afraid that after the surrender will be slaughtered. Therefore, this army can also be in a no-man's land, and it won't take long to be able to directly attack my capital. β
All the generals broke out in a cold sweat, if the capital star was captured, it would mean that the Heavenly Tiger Empire was finished. Without the central government's suppression, most of the magnates of the Tianhu Empire would choose to surrender, and at that time, the Tianhu Empire would no longer need the Yanhuang clan to use swordsmen at all, and only needed a piece of paper to summon them, and the nobles everywhere would not surrender. In this way, the Heavenly Tiger Empire will definitely perish in a short period of time.
Tianluo Zhongzhong said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it is a fact that the Yanhuang Clan dares to take the initiative to attack us, and I believe that their forces are stronger than ours, but if we want to say that they have the strength to divide their troops into two ways, I am afraid that they have not accumulated to this point." "All the generals deeply believe that it is so easy to accumulate thousands of front army groups? If so, the Heavenly Tiger Empire will not only have 10,000 front army groups.
Tianhu Tiehai shook his head and said, " You're just afraid that you still underestimate the Yanhuang Clan, they have a way, what they have is knowledge that we couldn't even dream of before, therefore, what level they will develop with this knowledge, that is none of us can guess, and they still have the ability to fight on both sides, and fight like this, this is beyond our understanding, therefore, I think we are probably underestimating the Yanhuang Clan, if they really plan to adopt a strategic style of play that is all about to be finished, then we are afraid that it will be overγ β
Tianluo faithfully asked: "If the Yanhuang clan really adopts this kind of play, then what plan do we have to deal with it?" "This is your job, faithful." Tianhu Tiehai asked rhetorically. Everyone looked at Tianluo Zhongzhong, and Tianluo Zhongzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency the commander-in-chief loves me. Tianhu Tiehai Ha smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Tianluo's loyal shoulder: "You are my confidant, and your ability is so strong, I have to let your ability be brought into full play." You, if you have any good plan, just come up with it. β
Tian Luo Zhong said: "The strategy proposed by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is very unexpected to me, but I don't think it is too difficult to deal with the enemy's strategy, but these two options make it difficult for us to choose. In the first plan, we can only concentrate all our forces to block the enemy's main attacking army, fight to the death with their main attacking army, and pay the sacrifice of our entire army, so that the enemy's main attacking army believes that there are not many people left, and their strategy is naturally to destroy themselves without attacking. β
"The second plan is for our army to attack the core area of the Yanhuang tribe in turn. Although the Yanhuang clan left behind the forces that could contain our army, the troops they left behind may not be the opponent of our army. In addition, our army can open a big road. Bypass the flank of the enemy. On the other hand, invading the hinterland of the Yanhuang Clan, what they do in our rear, we can also do in the hinterland of the Yanhuang Clan, I believe that everyone's life will not be too easy. It's a lose-lose game. β
"The first strategy of Chief of Staff Tianluo can be called a desperate strategy, and the second strategy can be called a confrontation strategy. Both strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages. In terms of desperate strategy, even if our army tries its best, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the attack of the Yanhuang clan. Besides, even if our army and the main attacking army of the Yanhuang clan are exhausted, the Yanhuang clan still has a partial division left. The strength of their partial divisions is also very strong, and after our army is exhausted, I believe that it will be difficult to gather a strong army in a short time to block their attack. Of course, because our army has exhausted their main forces, and their forces are insufficient, they can only occupy a small part of our country, and it is believed that it is impossible to occupy most of our country. Our army will have a chance to make a comeback. Tianhu Iron Wing said after analysis.
"On the contrary, if our army adopts an offensive strategy, although our army can inflict heavy casualties on the Yanhuang clan, it will not cause any major damage to the strength of the Yanhuang clan. The Yanhuang clan has enough strength to occupy all the rear of our country and join forces with the four kingdoms of those rebels. In this way, even if our country is destroyed, it is not much worse if it is not all destroyed. Although our army is still able to retain most of its strength, after losing all the logistical supply bases and reserve sources, our army will become a source of water, and the consequences can only succeed for a while, but it will not take long for our army to be completely wiped out. β
Everyone's hearts are heavy, the analysis of the Heavenly Tiger Iron Wing is extremely unpleasant, but it is an iron-clad fact, especially the consequences of the offensive strategy, once the main force of the Yanhuang clan and the four kingdoms meet, the consequences will naturally not be much to say, the Heavenly Tiger Empire now only has 7,000 front army groups, the Tianhu Iron Sea Department now has 3,000 front army groups, and there are still 4,000 front army groups in the country, but the concentration on attacking the four kingdoms has already gone to 3,000 front army groups, it can be said that the total number of defenders in various parts of the Heavenly Tiger Empire is only a thousand front army groups, once the Yanhuang clan breaks through the defense line of the Tianhu Iron Sea and enters the country, with the empty force in the country, it is inevitable to destroy the country.
Now, the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea Department is facing a dilemma, either choose to fight with the main attacking army of the Yanhuang Clan, which is naturally a heavy loss, and it is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated, but this result is to let the Heavenly Tiger Empire have a chance to regain the East Mountain, although this opportunity is not big, but it is finally called a chance. However, once the strategy of confrontation was chosen, the Tianhu Empire would be destroyed, and unless the Tianhu Tiehai Department surrendered after the destruction of the country, how long would it be able to survive? Without a logistical supply base, how could the Tianhu Tiehai feed the 3,000 front army groups, and I was afraid that the entire army would not take long to disperse.
This is only one of them, and the second is that the offensive strategy is not so easy to implement successfully, since the Yan and Huang tribes have chosen the strategic style of play that is fully contrived in one battle, they naturally think of the strategy that Tianhu Tiehai may adopt, and they will inevitably protect their own rear, so whether the offensive strategy can succeed or not is still a five-five number.
Therefore, all in all, if you choose to work hard, you can go back to prepare a suicide note, and then go to work hard. And those who choose the offensive strategy, in addition to preparing a suicide note, everyone also needs to prepare to escape, it can be said that after the fall of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, their lone army should not be able to exist for much longer.
Yokoyama asked, "Has our intelligence department figured out how many troops the Yanhuang clan has?" Tianluo shook his head faithfully and said, "If we figure it out, we won't have such a headache." It is precisely because we don't know how many troops the Yanhuang clan has at all that we feel that it is so big. "The number of troops is the basis for adopting a strategy, which is clear to everyone, so the group of people of the Yanhuang clan has put countless efforts into their own important information, and outsiders almost don't have to think about it if they want to get the information. In fact, except for a limited number of high-ranking officials of the Yanhuang Clan, the average high-ranking general did not know how much his total strength was, so the Tianhu Army often suffered big losses in this regard.
